Welcome message from Georges Kern CEO Roger Dubuis

Oct 19, 2011,10:48 AM
 



 

Dear collectors of ROGER DUBUIS watches and our aficionados,

ROGER DUBUIS is delighted to welcome you to the PuristSPro.com forums. With our shared passion for watches, we are pleased to be able to exchange views with you here. And to start the debate, a subject which brings us all together: fine mechanical engineering.

Since 1995, ROGER DUBUIS has been the outlet for an ongoing stream of creativity. The Manufacture has channeled its action, philosophy, and communication into four fantasy worlds each with its own character: Player, Warrior, Venturer and Diva. These four bold, powerful and extravagant collections express the DNA of ROGER DUBUIS.

Totally integrated, the ROGER DUBUIS manufacture produces some thirty complicated mechanical movements in-house, exclusively for ROGER DUBUIS watches. As well as being the sole watch Maison to have every one of its mechanical movements stamped with the Geneva Hallmark – a gauge of excellent workmanship – it has added a further certification: the COSC, the Official Swiss Chronometer Certificate, which guarantees accuracy.

Having arrived at the right time, ROGER DUBUIS has grown alongside the spread of communication by internet. So it is no accident that the Maison has chosen PuristSPro.com as a meeting place where watch lovers can converse in unprecedented proximity. All your thoughts, comments and questions are valuable to us. Welcome to the ROGER DUBUIS community!


 

Georges Kern

 

CEO of ROGER DUBUIS

From Dr No's files: RD Easy Diver . . .

 
 By: Dr No : October 21st, 2011-12:20
. . . circa 2008 . . . . . . which projects a vivd presence and level of sophistication rarely found in the genre. Congratulations, Alec! Cordially, Art...  

Not Easy Diver ;)

 
 By: marketsurfer : October 21st, 2011-12:35
Hey Doctor, That be the Excalibur, not the Easy Diver. Great shot none the less.

Correct on the first count . . .

 
 By: Dr No : October 22nd, 2011-15:11
. . . but with a little further research, I believe the model is designated "Chronexcel". My photo was taken in Boston three years ago, and several better images were taken by Aaron that evening, which I hope he'll share with us soon. Unfortunately, I'm a... 

Your wish is my command...

 
 By: aaronm : October 22nd, 2011-18:51
though I'll not brag about the quality, here are 2 pics of that Chronoexcel:, first a closeup of the dial (ignore the blue circles, I was trying out a ring-light that didn't work very well and movement A...  

Thanks, Aaron . . .

 
 By: Dr No : October 22nd, 2011-19:40
. . . much appreciated. Gratefully, Art

I think the case design

 
 By: Jester : October 23rd, 2011-14:52
Is the same as the Excalibur?

What's Mr. Kern wearing?

 
 By: marketsurfer : October 21st, 2011-12:37
What watch is Mr. Kern wearing in the photo? I don't believe its an RD. Anyone? Dave

Looks like The Monégasque Chronograph: the trump card

 
 By: Bill : October 21st, 2011-16:05
Here is a closeup and the exact watch. The chronograph version of La Monégasque, the trump card of the new collection, captivates with its refined design as much as by its fascinating mechanism. Its satin sunburst dial includes the two timer sub-dials, th...  

Thanks Bill

 
 By: Jester : October 21st, 2011-16:23
and I can confirm that it's indeed a Monegasque Chrono...

Thanks

 
 By: marketsurfer : October 21st, 2011-17:09
Thanks for the clarification. I see it is indeed The Monegasque.... Looking forward to seeing on in n metal. D

Congrats Roger Dubuis

Having been a guest at the manufacture on a trip in 2009, I can only say that the addition of an RD Forum on ThePurists is a great enhancement both for ThePurists as the world's premier watch forum and for RD as one of the leading brands in the world of h...

... congratulations to Alec. Roger Dubuis has come so far in a relatively short time and I marveled at the manufacturing and the range of movements available. And there have always been pieces across the brand that attracted me - just as there have been w...
